- DE-PS 30 31 931 describes a device for extending the discharge time of rechargeable batteries, in which the voltage states of the batteries are detected with a monitoring device. There is a longer reliable discharge of the batteries This means that the accumulator operation is not terminated when the battery is discharged and thus when a limit voltage of the weakest cell is reached, but only when this limit voltage is reached on the average of all interconnected accumulators. An extension of the service life of batteries with regard to their replacement cannot be achieved.
- a device for a battery charger is known, with which overcharging and charging with incorrect polarity of battery packs is prevented.
- the charging current is monitored by means of a transistor circuit, which further comprises Zener diodes.

- the circuit breaker connected to the control circuit is connected in parallel to the poles of the group of accumulators.
- the electrical memory is formed from the secondary winding, which is connected to each accumulator via a blocking diode.
- a comparison circuit detects when a differential signal occurs in the Control circuit between the accumulators, a function generator is connected, the output of which is connected to the interrupter. This allows targeted supply of energy to the weakest accumulator.
- this system has the disadvantage of a large number of controlling elements, which represent a cost and possibly a space and weight factor.
- the power range of the flyback converters used is capped
- the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, in which the replacement of a battery with poorer quality can be delayed with less circuitry compared to the prior art.
- the object is achieved according to the invention for a device according to the preamble of claim 6 in that the transformer elements are connected in parallel to one of the similar energy storage devices or energy converters by the switches controlled by the clock generator, so that all similar energy storage devices or energy converters are connected in at least one cycle - each step are individually connected in parallel to a transformer element in the same winding direction.
- the energy is not taken from the total battery or the overall arrangement, but rather the direct current flow from cells of higher voltage to cells with a lower voltage is due to the magnetic coupling of all the windings via the common core and the synchronous switching of all windings possible.

These can form a single group of three accumulators 1 or, as indicated by the dashed connecting lines, parts of a larger, e.g. 10 to 12 accumulators 1 comprehensive battery bank. In addition to batteries 1 as energy stores, the device can also be used for energy converters such as fuel cells.
- a transformer 2 which here has three identical windings 3, all of which are arranged in the same direction indicated by the point on a common core 4 in close magnetic coupling.

From this common winding on a common core 4, a maximum number of windings 3 and thus accumulators 1, which can be interconnected via the individual core 4, is technically specified . If a larger number of accumulators 1 are to be interconnected, the use of cascading, for example. according to the principle of Fig. 4, necessary.
- the windings 3 are now alternately connected to the poles of the associated accumulator 1 with the aid of the switch pairs 5, 15 and 6, 16 with a pulse duty factor of less than 50 percent.
- the switches 5, 6, 15, 16 are shown in the cycle step in which the switches 5 and 15 are closed, so that in each case the start of the winding is connected to the pole on the drawing sheet at the top of each accumulator 1, not shown in the next Clock step then switches 6 and 16 close while switches 5 and 15 are open, so that each winding 3 is connected in parallel with its accumulator 1 in the opposite polarity
- the switches 5, 6, 15 and 16 are each connected to corresponding outputs of a clock generator, which is not shown in the drawing, and with which a clock frequency of preferably more than 20 kHz can be generated
- the close magnetic coupling induces the same voltage in all windings 3, in particular in the three windings 3 shown here. If an accumulator 1 now has a lower voltage due to aging or other influences, a corresponding current flows directly into this cell .
- the diodes 7 shown in FIG. 1 are each switched via the switches 5, 6, 15 and 16 in order to temporarily take over a possibly flowing current as freewheeling diodes, since when switching the clock to avoid short circuits via simultaneously conductive switches a short pause is required

Of course, this is not necessary, only it must be ensured that each winding 3 is assigned two accumulators 1 with different polarity and that each accumulator 1 is connected to two windings with opposite polarity.
- Adjacent accumulators 1 are of course particularly suitable, since then a simple "folding" of the winding 3 around the center connection 8 is possible in order to generate the alternating voltage required for the transformer 2 and this device only just uses the small number of Switches 5 and 6 allowed
- FIG. 3 also shows the use of capacitors 9 for suppressing high-frequency interference voltages on the connecting lines of the accumulators 1.
